So i have a question whats the difference bewteen F1. F2. F3 .F4.

I know f1 is breed by to different parents

But whats the differences bewteen all of the F breeds in terms size of growth branch development, speed of the growth bud development and size.. ...

It depends on genetics i know that but whats the main reason these are different

F1 is the result from the cross of two different parentals, whetherl andraces or IBL’s. This first offspring of the cross will show the so-called hybrid vigour, that usually means that the seeds will have better individuals than their parents. Being more vigorous and strong than those from the parental generation, with better flower production and very homogeneous. An F2, is the second filial generation, the result of crossing individuals from the first filial generation(F1). Probably, we’ll lose the “hybrid vigour” trait in this second generation, as well as the stability of the first one. The F2 offspring will show 50% individuals with similar traits to the father or mother, while the remaining 50% will show intermediate traits. By crossing the F2 generation we get the F3, andso on. It all depens on what straits you or the breeder or breeding for. The higher the f number, the more locked in the pheno types should be. Most breeders release at like f3.

@Prophetiko “most” . Boy I wish this was the case. The lack of quality is starting to take over the auto market. This is why it’s best to buy from quality breeders who do bring seeds this high.

I always attempt buying directly from a seed breeder first, the a vendor after that.

Completely true! I only grow 3 auto breeders.. I've been running photos again and was thinking of most of breeders llike Bodhi, Dj short, ect. But even generally speaking, you are right, the market on both ends is flooded with new breeders releasing F1's for sale, and unproven genetics.
